[Paraview] Problem with ParaView 3.4 and additional Filter...

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Stefan,

Looks like you only loaded the xml for the filter. Loading of xml is
fine when exposing filters already present in VTK but not available to
ParaView GUI. The MyElevataionFilter.xml refers to a new filter class
vtkMyElevationFilter which needs to be compiled. Hence simply loading
xml is not valid here. Instead you should load the plugin shared
library that would be compiled if you turn on BUILD_EXAMPLES when
configuring paraview using CMake. On compiltation there will be
libSMMyElevation.so (or similar on  other platforms) that you can load
through the plugin manager.
Look at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo for details.
